This is actually the General Sherman Tree, in Sequoia National Park… 275 feet tall and over 36 feet in diameter at the base.
Not the tallest or the widest—but by volume, the largest single stem tree on earth. It’s estimated to be over 2,200 years old, and contains enough wood to build about 125 2-bedroom houses.
This, I believe, is recent. The woman pointing is a teammate of Caitlin Clark, who was just fouled by a player on another team. Ms. Clark was then called for a technical foul after clapping for the foul call on the other player.
This is an actual color photograph from 1913… showing the original Moulin Rouge (literally, the Red Mill), birthplace of the cancan, before it burned down in 1915.
It was rebuilt in 1925, and is still in business.
“La revue cache ton nu” is literally “The revue (show) hides your nude”, which must be idiomatic, and I haven’t found a good explanation yet
Also, I didn’t think color film existed in 1913… It overlapped Prokudin-Gorskii’s tricolor filter method.
Looks like I have reading to do 🙂
I will say that other prints I saw of this image were much less vivid… I don’t know what the originals were like.

“Mmmmm. Tasty.”
“More, please?”
Are you gonna eat that?
..
Ah, yes. A fine example of female pulchritude.
Backstage at the Moulin Rouge, Paris, 1924

Thanks, Nighthawks for triggering my escalaphobia!
Hey, it only eats those who are unaware or distracted.
A missing step?
The stuff of my nightmares.
That step isn’t missing…that escalator is just opening its gaping maw as it prepares to mangle your leg!
Thanks ever so….

Paris-1923
That’s the problem with Paris. Not enough bridges.

Showoff.
Looks like a Verizon tree.
Another Bob Ross Happy Little(ish) Tree…

It’s pretty awesome to stand next to it and try to see the top. Been there a couple of times.

Where’s the little kid who refuses to open his mouth?
Is everybody looking forward to AI dentistry?
NO!!!!
I see the possibility that it was made by the company I last worked for.
I thought it was some kind of Hellish fantasy picture…
But it’s a row of actual training mannequins at a dental school.
Which only increases my wonder at the fact that anybody wants to be a dentist.
Or a mannequin…

Shoot him in the back!
OOOO! That hurts!
I fail to see how blowing smoke rings at the robot is going to help.
well, it’s a deadly attack of second-hand smoke—the effect of which is delayed
by several years

That’s Sophie Cunningham–she’s badass

Some things cannot be translated word for word as it is in this case.
The Revue: (show)
Hide your nudity
Possibly referring to some sort of Fan Dance show where you might only get a slight peek of actual skin.
,..
That’s what I like to see; a car full of happy faces. And one tuchis.
Bassets have the best behinds!

find the deer
If he doesn’t want to be found, he should hide or something.
so, too easy?
No!
Hard enough. I had to adjust the saturation and brightness. Then I got it.
I’m not voting.
No biggie! i’m just trying to get a feel for what is appropriate for everybody
Bunny!
how to test a taser
No comment.
Guess it worked??
Why would she do that??
And she knows someone is making the video.
If it’s supposed to prove she’s tough… that only proves she’s not very bright.
Well, young people ARE invincible
A very, very weird sport.
Don’t forget ctrl +
Utterly bizarre. We will make a competition out of anything.
Oh HELL yes!
Here’s one for Bunday
This looks like the work of a border collie.
Hard to count, but one square foot of bunny might equal 24 regular feet of bunny.
Nighthawks posted this the other day. It’s an alternate example of a MIND Diet.
He didn’t just post it, it’s his cartoon.
One of the only ones I’ve seen without any Cliffords, human or canine
It was a less blurry version, though
Street Art – The Abandoned Train – By Odeith in Portugal.

Amazingly good work.
It does make me wonder whether the painting was manually or digitally applied to the photo, not to the actual walls.
Nope… It was painted right on the walls, by that incredibly talented Portuguese street artist, who has done many others, as well.
You’re kidding! Awesome work!
